What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote US and global roles where I can lead strategic sourcing, global procurement, supplier development, international trade, and high-value cost optimization initiatives.

I've led procurement, international trade, and supplier strategy across Prolind Alumínio, Valgroup, and Novelis do Brasil, managing multi-million-dollar spend and delivering sustained cost reductions.

At Prolind, I lead purchasing governance, master data, and international trade while serving as Interim Procurement Manager. I spearheaded the Natural Gas Free Market Migration, delivering 7%–8% annual savings on a ~$7M budget.

I have built sourcing channels in China through supplier audits, trade negotiations, and fieldwork in Shanghai, Yuncheng, and Baoding, opening alternatives expected to reduce alloy-category costs by 15%.

At Novelis, I developed Brazil's Supplier Relationship Management framework and deployed it with the global procurement team in Atlanta. I use SAP Ariba, competitive bidding, cost modeling, and supplier qualification to strengthen compliance, performance, and supply chain resilience.
